VOICE USER INTERFACE OF ALEXA SKILL
In this section, the voice user interface for the Alexa skill has been described.
Requirements:
Designing an effective voice user interface for the skill is a critical first step that should be done before writing any code. This is the primary way users will interact with the skill. This include a list of diagram that show the requests users will make and the possible outcomes of those requests. The diagram include a flow for the screens and their visual and touch elements since the skill should specifically support screen interaction and the diagram should identify the user requests that your skill will handle.
